**[Brazil Signs Anti-Gang Bill, Allowing Seized Cryptocurrency to Fund Law Enforcement]** Odaily Planet Daily News – Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed an anti-gang bill this Tuesday, granting authorities new powers to freeze and seize assets during investigations and after convictions. The types of assets involved include cryptocurrency, stocks, and luxury goods. The bill allows authorities to permanently confiscate these assets and sell them, with the proceeds used to upgrade police equipment, provide training, and support special operations. The bill also establishes an economic incentive mechanism for public assistance in law enforcement, offering whistleblowers who provide information and help recover assets up to 5% of the confiscated assets as a reward. Assets confiscated in connection with drug trafficking will be allocated to the Federal Drug Policy Fund rather than the security fund. Additionally, the bill imposes harsher penalties on extreme violent criminal organizations, paramilitary groups, and private militias that use violence or severe threats to control territories, disrupt public services, attack infrastructure, or intimidate authorities and civilians.
